Following the packed shows and rave reactions across Canada and the USA for the recently concluded North American leg of their 50th Anniversary RUN FOR YOUR LIVES TOUR Iron Maiden will return to North America in 2027 to play a further 16 shows. They’ll also be bringing Eddie’s Dive Bars back on the road, giving fans another chance to meet up and raise a glass (or two)… to 50 years of Iron Maiden. Maiden, a 2026 inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, will play mainly in regions that the current tour missed, in a mix of indoor and outdoor venues, and will conclude with two festival headline performances at Sonic Temple and Boardwalk Rock.
In the tour announcement, Steve Harris said, "we have always enjoyed playing the many great festivals that are in Europe and wanted to experience a couple more in the USA which we will do at the end of the tour in Columbus and Maryland."

Says Steve Harris, “As many of our fans know, Maiden were planning on taking a break from live performances in 2027, but we’ve been enjoying this last leg in the USA and Canada so much that we all had a chat and decided we should take the show to parts we missed, particularly the North West and South East. It just seems fair to our many fans there who have given us tremendous support for so many years. We can’t get everywhere but we can try! Also, we have always enjoyed playing the many great festivals that are in Europe and wanted to experience a couple more in the USA which we will do at the end of the tour in Columbus and Maryland.
